Chapter 948 by Marina Vittori

Spring’s legs went weak, and he sat on the ground after letting out all his pent–up thoughts.His face was twisted with many negative emotions: anger, hatred, jealousy, craze, and spite.

He could not understand why things turned out the way they did. He had come up with a perfect plan. There should have been no mistake.

All he had to do was kill Paul, and he could take over his position. He would then be in control and have ultimate authority.

Yet, things did not go according to his plan. All his carefully planned schemes burst like bubbles.

He had only two possible outcomes when he decided to aim for his father’s position. He could reach his goal and be respected by all, or he would fail and fall into disgrace.

Unfortunately, he failed.

Paul hadn’t died, and all his plans and schemes were wasted. But he refused to accept the outcome!

Just one step. One more step was all it took for him to get a taste of

success. Why?

“I never thought that Spring would be the one behind all this. How

unexpected!”

“He pretends to be so nice and friendly all the time. But he’s such an evil

person! We really can’t judge a book by its covers!”

“Had Sir Paul not feigned his death, this monster would have taken over his position!”

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Seeing how Spring was on the verge of madness, the crowd was more angry at him than shocked.

To think that they had supported him and gave him their complete trust! None of them had expected that he was a wolf in sheep’s skin.

“Men! Tie this immoral bastard up!” Ronald ordered furiously.

“Yes, sir!”

Two elders of the Balerno martial arts alliance answered before

approaching Spring. They broke both his legs and tied him up securely.

“You should die, you old thing! You should die!” Spring screamed and

roared like he had lost his sanity.

“Throw him into prison and keep an eye on him. He shall be publicly punished tomorrow!” Ronald instructed his men to bring Spring away.

“The truth has been uncovered. It’s time you all should leave.” Ronald

turned and dispersed the crowd.

The crowd gradually left, though it seemed they had not enjoyed the

show enough yet.

No one had expected such an outcome. Dustin had been the person they

had expected to see being punished.

But after multiple twists and turns, they witness a series of shocking

revelations.

First, it was Autumn, then it was Spring. The two sons of the Hill family

had nearly deceived everyone.

“Sir Reeds, the Balerno martial arts alliance sure has a lot of talents. What

I witnessed today was truly eye–opening. I’ll be leaving now.”

Conrad left with a sarcastic remark. Then, the Glenstead martial arts

alliance followed after him and left.

“Hmph! That bastard made it out of this again. I hate to see him walk free! “Edith’s face fell as a malicious glint appeared in her eyes.

“Who would have thought that Paul’s still alive? That bastard is really lucky!” Brittany gritted her teeth.

“What do we do now, Madam Edith?” Nikki asked warily.

“What can we do? We go back and study the remnants of the scripture.

“Hopefully, we can get something out of it.” Edith’s eyes narrowed.

One must have a great realization to reach the level of grandmaster.

Otherwise, it was almost impossible.

“Now that you mention the scripture, Madam Edith, I thought of

something.”

Nikki said thoughtfully, “Dustin had said that there might be something hidden within the remnants of the scripture. There might be a surprise in

there if we opened it up.”

“Surprise?” Edith’s eyes lit up.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“I just recalled it.” Nikki smiled awkwardly.

“Let’s go, let’s go! Let’s hurry back immediately!”

Edith led her disciples away impatiently.

Within mere minutes, the crowd outside Zephyr Lodge was cleared.
